Dictators ban arts they don't like

Some content being removed from libraries, cancellation of performances at The Kennedy Center (not by the performers), removal of "banned" words from documents & websites. So while wholesale book banning or burning is not happening (yet) we have totalitarianism on a scale not seen before in the US.

I can’t wait for Hee Haw at Kennedy Center.

So powerful

A facility that he can hold his rallies! MAGA on the move

Gosh! It would make a great place for one of his MAGA zombie rallies!

Acts should boycott! Dont play Kennedy center. Cancel membership

Why has no one killed him yet? Seriously? If the doctor told you tests showed you had cancer, would you tell the doctor “let’s just watch it and see what it does”???🤦‍♀️

Narcissists destroy everything they touch & now it’s the Kennedy Center.

Such a wretched little boy! He has to ruin things he had no prior interest in.

Communists are the WORST!

WTF does trump know about the arts?

I stand with my ppl at Kennedy Center! Such a shame that a reality TV host is in charge of a national cultural center…dedicated to an amazing President! Make it make sense…

Ok, but it's going to take more than chasees and pirouettes to take down this regime.

Practice for his grave.

Anyone taking odds on him awarding himself something soon?

Symbolic taking over power is what he is doing...

That will be the end of Culture for the next 4 years!

The Kennedy Center is dead to me, for as long as it is piloted by a fascist and his oligarchy. Not happening, Tulip!

Should have picked better candidates.

With that degenerate Trump and his ass kissers involved, all you'll get is a Lee Greenwood, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and Billy Ray Cyrus residency for the next 4 years!!! Lol

I am glad to see protests, but I do worry that Republicans are actively seizing power and those attempting resistance are fighting back with words and dance. It’s so frustrating that I may need to dance myself… youtu.be/bdscrlKRNXQ?...

Oh, an "advocate for revolution." i'm sure you're doing a lot of real-world, applicable work that's highly visible to other people toward that end 🙄

Bravo!

To be sporting, let's let him rename SOMETHING. The best candidate would be that 10,000 acre ranch outside of Stanley, New Mexico. From now on it is named the: TRUMP/EPSTEIN RANCH

He is a self-loathing gay man who would love to shove all of us back into a closet.

Oh, good. I was afraid it was them.

This is the saddest thing to see. Even the arts are being used to control the message that fascism has arrived in America.

Its also very easy to ignore

I guess the next round of Kennedy Honors Awards will include Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and the remaining Village Person.

Don't forget Carrie.

That’ll show him

Nope, they are not going to bulldoze it. They will just ask the firefighters to come over to raise the temperature to oh around 450 to 452 degrees

Ha ha but of course that is not going to happen in real life.

Now at the Kennedy Center, The Nutcracker, featuring Kid Rock

That is true….

This is what we can expect now youtu.be/RfTTOgQu0Io?...

Throw in some high kicks to the new Board.

They'd better add quotes to their Kennedy Center "Honors" going forward.

Gee i wonder who will be awarded the Kennedy Center Honor next?

Please note that “Shen Yun”, which is backed by the right wing Epoch Times, is scheduled.

The admin has RJK Jr., which is enough “permission” to use the Kennedy name for these fascist ghouls.

It was called the National Cultural Center before we started naming everything after Kennedy. I'd like to have it switched back.

Reminds me of this -> bsky.app/profile/lare...

Knowing the way this whole thing is going, probably Hannity, Carlson, the rotting corpse of Rush Lindbaugh, and the crown prince himself Donald Trump..because that's how the douchebag rolls

The Jimmy Carter Honors should substitute for the next 4 years

How I thought that the Kennedy Center was like a trust partially owned by the Kennedy family how is he taking over anything?

Well, I guess there's always Kid Rock?

Would you believe that the arts are woke? I've heard that back in the time of Shakespeare, male actors played female parts!

Keep the protests going. Most importantly, there should be thousands of major artists and performers protesting when audiences are walking into an event. Remember: Fascists come after the arts first, because artists are the truth tellers of society. #TheyMuskBeStopped

Dance? Ok now dance like you're holding a gun, then GET A GUN

This is what happens when you kiss the ring! www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

When I read things like this, I understand how some may laugh. Since I don’t think we have yet located the true battle line with the MAGA wave, I believe we also don’t know the weapons needed. Silly may become lethal.

So awful that trump is destroying everything good

Don't forget Chachi from Happy Days. Scott Baio said it would be the biggest honor of his life since being promoted to "Chief Sandwich Maker" at Subway. He hopes to get the night off to be in attendance 🤞

Although I don’t anyone to lose their wage but everyone at the Kennedy Center and elsewhere should leave. Eventually things will come to a halt. My heart goes out to everyone who lost their jobs and well being. Bless every one of you. And if you voted for Trump you should look at a mirror.

Now that's my kind of protestors. But where's the band?

And other groups, including a prominent Akexandria, VA Baptist Church, are Canceling performances. If Trump is intentionally trying to kill cultural arts at DC’s most iconic performance venue, he’s doing a smash up job.🤢 www.yahoo.com/news/church-...

Ya, that will tell them.

When is Kid Rock scheduled? Asking for a MAGA used to be friend.

We need to learn from J6. You need a bunch of mismatched flags with ugly text on them

Pearls before swine

Holy moly. So now they want to control the arts too. No. No easy comparison to Hitler here, or communist Russia. I mean, how easy could it be?

Literally yes...trump stated there would be no woke or liberal programs in the future. This schedule was put together before trumpy took charge and trumpys agendas have yet to be published. trump hired project 2025 loyalists to put together future performances.

Whoever can do, should do. 🤔 🧠 💡

That should work

There are lots of performances already booked. www.kennedy-center.org/whats-on/?ga...

damn right. Americans need to be out there flipping cars and burning down Tesla dealerships, not whatever weakass "protest" that's supposed to be

Dictator wanna be 😡

Please don’t say that.

Trump's taste has always been in the extreme tacky category. Ugh. I'm a docent at an art museum. I hope we don't lose any funding, but I'm sure we will (along with every other museum.) It is us to us to keep up the fight for The Arts.

I hope that the 'art' community walks out in mass protest. The Kennedy Center is not the only forum in town.

I wonder what good artists will play the venue now? Meth heads like Kid Rock?

He needs to be stopped. We are not going to be ok.

Terrifying

He's a hollywood guy. Literally made his money through the apprentice.

The last true culturally rich performance the center saw…

A troglodyte overseeing the arts… AXIS POWER USA. A girl has no country.

YMCA

With musk running things trump has plenty of time to kill. What better use of his time than running the Kennedy Center into the ground.
